(FOX NEWS) North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un’s latest threat is his most specific yet – a vow to strike the U.S. mainland, complete with a photo on the state-run media showing Hawaii, Washington, Los Angeles and Austin, Texas, as the targets of choice.

Photos believed to have been taken at an “emergency meeting” Friday appeared in the state-run Rodong newspaper and showed Kim signing an order putting rockets on standby to fire at U.S. targets, the paper said. Behind Kim, a chart titled “U.S. mainland strike plan” can be seen and a map shows missiles arcing into the U.S. locations.

Kim warned Friday he is preparing to “settle accounts with the U.S.” after the U.S. deployed B-2 stealth bombers to South Korea to participate in a training exercise Thursday.

How seriously do you take North Korea's threat to nuke U.S.?

Kim is just bluffing for more aid

I don't take it seriously at all

Mutually assured destruction has worked as a policy for decades and will deter such threats

He's even more insane than his father, so there's no telling what he's capable of

Because of his extremely crazy mental state, we can't count on deterrence to work

All the saber-rattling is for internal political consumption

Just send Dennis Rodman back to save us

I liked our chances a whole lot better before we began gutting our military

It would be a nice time to have a strategic defense initiative that protects us

We should take such threats from madmen very seriously

Many did not take Hitler seriously, referring to the silly little man with the 'Charlie Chaplin mustache'
